Application ledpovember 20, 1913. Serial No. 802,141.

To all whom t may concern Be it known that I, locrn'r L. GnEEN, a citizen of the United States, residing. at

Jackson, in the county of Jackson and State o-f Michigan, have invented certain new and 'useful Improvements in-Cuspidor-Holders;

and I do declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art towhich it appertains to makeand use the same.

This invention relates to improvements in holders or stands for cuspidors, especially paper cuspidors.

The object of the invention is' to providey simple, eflicie-nt and inexpensive means for supporting cuspidors and more especially sanitary cuspidorsl composed ofpaper or other suitable material which may be removed and burned or otherwise destroyed. With these and other objects in view the invention consists of certain novel features of construction, combination and arrange ment'of parts as will be hereinafter more fully described and claimed.

In the accompa-nying drawing:' Figure 1 In the embodiment illustrated a supporting base is shown comprising an outer plate 1 of metal or other sanitary material which may be readily cleansed, and having an inturned peripheral iange 2 which forms a housing to receive a suitable ller 3. A.

socket 3 is disposed centrally ofrsaid base' and is here shown in the formof a Small inverted vcone having an inverted T-shaped se-h curing element et fixed to the apex thereof and embedded inthe material of the filler 3.

A plurality of upright supporting rods as 5 are secured at one end by any suitable means to said base 1 nearxthe periphery thereof. An annular member 6 is secured to the upper ends of said rods 5- and is preferably constructed of stiff wire to form a reinforcing member for the upper edge of an inverted cone-shaped receptacle 7, said edge being rolled around said wire asis shown clearly in Fig. 2. The apex of this inverted coneshaped member 7 ismounted in the socket 3 which holds the lower end of said receptacle against lateral movement. lThis receptacle 7 is designed to receive an inverted Coneintegral with. the body of the cuspidor 'or' not as desired.' Y

15in-annular plate 11 is designed to t over the upper end of the cuspidor for holding it against vertical displacement. rThis plate 11 is provided on its outer edge with a de- Y pending flange 12 which fits over the rolled edge of the receptacle 7 andy is 'secured in operative positionhya plurality of spring gripping tongues or fingers 13 formed by slitting the edge of the flange 12 transversely as shown at 14 and bending the material between the slits inward as is shown clearly in Fig. 2. This plate 11 is also inclined downwardly toward its inner ed e to adapt it to snugly t the outer .face o the flange 9 of the cuspidor.

From the foregoing description taken in connection with the accompanying drawings, the construction and operation of the invention will be readily understood without requiring a more extended explanation'.

Various changes in the form, proportion and the minor details of construction may be resorted to without departing from the princip-le or sacrificing any of the advantages of this invention as defined in the appended claims.

I claim as my lnventlon:

1. A cuspidor holder comprising a.`r basev plate, a plurality of uprights secured to said plate, said plate lhavmga centrally disposedY socket, an inverted vcone-shaped member having its apex mountedl in said socket and its upper end secured to said uprights,

and an annular plate fitting over the upper" en d of said inverted cone-shaped member. 2. A cuspidor holder comprising a .base plate, a pluralit of uprights secured t'o .said plate, said p ate havmg a centrally disposed'y socket, an inverted cone-shaped vesselj4 having its apexi mounted in said socket,

a ring connecting the 'u per ends-of said uprights, saidrvessel havmg its upper edge rolled around said ring, yand an annular plate mounted on the upper end ofsaid vessel/and having a depending peripheral ange.

3. A cuspidor holder comprising a base plate, a plurality of uprights secured to said plate, a wirel ring connecting the upper ends of said uprights, an inverted coneshaped vessel having its apex engaging said plate, and its upper edge rolled around said wire ring, and an annular plate mounted on the upper end of said vessel and having a dependino peripheral flange having 1n ent tongues or connecting said plate to said vessel. t

4. A cuspidor holder comprising a base plate, `an inverted cone-,shaped socket disposed in said base plate and having an inverted T-shaped securing element, uprights secured to said member connecting sald uprights,a
